Heide Brandes and I returned to Davis, Oklahoma for an afternoon to visit some of the places we weren’t able to fit into our first visit. We start off with some high-flying adventures at Air Donkey Zipline, then get a sweet tour of Bedré Fine Chocolates, have lunch at 77 Grill, and end the road trip at Caveman Museum and Antiques. Davis is part the Chickasaw Country tourism organization, which includes 13 counties in south-central Oklahoma.

For convenience, the bigger segments from this packed episode have their own video below.

Soar over the beautiful Arbuckle Mountains on one of Oklahoma’s longest ziplines! Heide talks with one of the owners of Air Donkey Zipline, Steve Burrough, about the two-hour tour with six ziplines and a skybridge.

Derived from the Norwegian word for “better,” Bedré Fine Chocolates is a chocolatier located in Davis, Oklahoma. Visitors can watch chocolates being made on site for free in the retail shop. Heide interviews the general manager, Kay Colbert, and we get a tour of the chocolate factory.

Caveman Museum and Antiques features antique motorcycles, classic cars, and various other memorabilia. Heide visits with Tom Webb to learn about this unique classic transportation museum in Davis, Oklahoma.

Even after these two trips to Davis, there is still more to explore. Obviously, I can’t feature everything and I want people to find some things on their own too. Don’t want to ruin all of the surprises either. If you want a sneak peek at upcoming videos and bonus content, such as the uncut Bedré interview, become one of my supporters on Patreon.

Looking for a cool Summer Treat in Oklahoma? In this remastered episode of Uncovering Oklahoma, I traveled to Edmond, Oklahoma City, Norman, and Tulsa for delicious treats to help keep you cool during the triple digit temperatures. This remastered video includes Roxy’s, Eskimo Sno, Epic Pops, Katiebug’s, and Gelateria – STG.

This version is an update from July of last year when I released the summer treats video minus Epic Pops. I wanted to include Epic Pops in the original video, but they were in the process of a remodel. I included them in this remastered version, which I didn’t change much other than color correction and some minor changes. Nothing really new, but I have new people watching it and I wanted to give it an update for them.

The episode starts with an interview with Raena Mutz on Roxy’s Ice Cream Social in Oklahoma City’s Plaza District. They specialize in making small batches of fresh ice cream in unique flavors and fresh baked cookie sandwiches. They now have multiple locations throughout Oklahoma City.

Then it’s to Norman for a classic snow cone treat from Eskimo Sno. Husband and wife team, Adrian and Jennii Buendia have been making snow cones since 1999.

While in Norman, stop for an epic treat at Epic Pops in Campus Corner. Owner, Jordan Holt brings the joy of youthful memories of eating popsicles that you won’t find anywhere else.

In Downtown Edmond is the shave ice and hot chocolate trailer, Katiebug’s. The Mom part of the Mother/Daughter team, Melissa Morgan, shares their fun summer treats, like the Frozen Hot Chocolate.

Finally, in Tulsa Mike Bausch talks about Gelateria – STG. Mike fights the stigma of gelato not being the same as it is in Italy by sourcing the same machines and ingredients as them.
